I Want To Softmod My Xbox...how?
« on: October 30, 2005, 02:30:00 PM »
Hey everybody...just want to say this is a great site...etc...etc...

I have a completely default Xbox that I would like to softmod...I have a few questions and concerns...

Please stay on topic...

1.  I know I have to use a gamesave exploit, but once I use a gamesave exploit I absolutely have to put on a new dash, correct?  Or can I just use a dashboard exploit without a gamesave exploit?  If so, how do I gain access to the dashboard files so I can replace them with modded files?  I definitely do not want to rip apart my Xbox and hotswap hard drives.  Also, what is EvoX?  Is that a new dash or just a means to open the Xbox to FTPing?

2.  I'm pretty sure I have to downgrade since I will be using UDE or UDE2.  Those sound the simplest and safest.  I have dash version 5960 and kernel version 3944.  How do I go about downgrading?  I couldn't really find the info on the forums that I was looking for.

3.  I would like to use Xbox Media Center as my default dash.  How do I go about this?

4.  I would like to use Xlink Kai directly from Media Center. Will I only see available games (Halo 2), or will they actually come up in the actual game?  Just to clarify, I also have to run the engine on my PC, correct?

That's pretty much all I want to do.  I want my Xbox to be more functional so I want to do the above listed things.  Can anyone help a fellow gamer out?

1. Use Krayzie's Ndure Game Save Exploits.  007, MechAssault, or SC.  Either is fine.  It is all done for you, no manual installation required.  EvoX is a replacement dashboard, so is UnleashX.  You can choose either in the installer, but personally, I prefer UnleashX.  EvoX is just very boring.

2. UDE is out dated.  Ndure is the latest exploit.

3. Once the softmod is installed, delete the contents of E:\dashboard\ and put all the XMC files in there.

4. Try the X-Kai forum.

1. ^^^^^

2. UDE is way old, use either uxe or ndure. theyre both just as simple.

3.^^^^^

4. yes you do need the engine running, you change settings so its only the engine.
